. peritarz /113peritl, to interfere in the deliberative pro- ceedings of that House, and to answer its -arguments by fixed 'coyonetal Hetrusted it would be sufficient thus to. have warned the. House at the existence of such a Meeting. The Honourable Gentleman con cluded by observing, that what :had. transpired in the course of the present investigation into the con duct of'the Duke of 'Yolk, furnished a'new proof, if•any additional proof ,were wanting, of the neces sity of a teinperate reform,: reform which .would ertenti'dot only to the administration of the army, bit to .the Government in Church, and:State. The 4camtaTrat Wit thought himself called uvon, to say a fete iVords respecting the - meeting of 'General OffiCers, to which the ,Honourable Gentleman Lad - alludt,d.: There was , some founda tion 'for th 4 statement of the Honourable Gen t;i'nuati; 'but it was only this, that there , existed in tins towna.clob of Military / Gentlemen, of which lie was an unworthy Member. That Club had .lately and at the'. meeting some 'conversation had sti Sri rtspeeling the conduct of the,Duke of York as Commander in Chief.. - That conversation turned ,upon the 'services. rendered. by his Royal. Highness to the army; and the Members of the.Club_thuoght themselves bound in gratitude to.testily :to his Royal •Highness the _sense they entertained of the eminent tidvatitages which the army had derived: from his able administration of the military affairs,. or;' the Country. These sentiments they-had resolv ed to express to his Royal Highness in the.form of an Address, but their proceedings irr this respeet had no reference whatsoever to the circumstances of the present moment, or to what was' now passing in that House.. • . Sir.TnouAs TLYRTON thought it necessary that 4ottle amendment should be proposed,' of-the nature at that he had moved, and he trni.lt therefore persist in it. • • • • Mi. CA KNLNG was of opinion, that the authority of that House should be maintained ; and that it any meeting of General Officers, such as , that described by the Hon. Gentleman, had taken place, ircould not be approved , of ; on the contrary, by adopt ing improper means, it could only tend to place the of :the Duke ,of York in a bad light, and eounteraa. that which it was no doubt their real. in-.. • tention to promote. G-eneral HIPPS had no knowledge whateverof any Such meeting as that alluded to. e Mr. COATS diiliked the distinction which some Gentlemen ' . seerned disposed to draw between the cliff:tent descriptions of persons who were Members at that'House. He was one of those who were' de scribed as Country Gentlemen: He hoped that the Country Members would continue to maintain the ,(liaracter, of independence, but in so maintaining, he was by do means prepated to say that otherdescrip , tiomk of Gentlemen.in, that Housti were not:equally independent. _ The Rouse now became clamorous for :the .ques tion, and strangers were ordered to withdraw ; when touk place on Sir Thomas ~Turton's Amt.-n(lmeg • .

The Cab:4oa' Tonant, Mustriaia, and Beßola, with several Frigates 'and Slocip4, tinder the con?' ruand of Lord GA MBLER, arrived off - Rochefort on the fit It.

An Aaneriem Brig from Bourdeaux bound to this Counity, which was hoardedon the 9th 1)y the DO once and Valiaht then chit on the Bth it wqs btrongly reported it Bourdeau,it that War was a6t u ally declared by Austria against France, and that French troops were marching on their way to the North. 13non,trawrta had not quitted Paris on the Bth. Accounts front .Hollatid - of a more'recerit date than the Dutch fapers, say, that •bestilitiet have MM. rricncc . d against I,France, and that Russia and Prussia . are likely to take i)alt in favour of Austria-. The Dutch Papers, which arrived lasenight 4 con tain an 'article respee.ing Austria . , and another rela tive to Spain, derived froin 'the French Journal of tho 6th and 7tlt inst. The former presents a letter, tinid'io have beers sent from the writer of thc:olliCial 'Yikalria Paper to the +vriter ..t tne' Haintaiirgli Paper; dated Feb. 15. it is well known that the French are in the constant habit of fabricating letters. lo hsetlie their purposes, but U tic,' bc aniirventioti, it iti Ic3s rlextcroll6 tbAn usual, k)r-aCter having ; givcu one account of the disposition of the Austrian Forees,.it proceeds to gisie an entire , conttiadinion to what it preViotisly said respe6tink, the fete given by the Austrian Minister at Constantinople.. In the first account the French Journals stated that Baron' VON &TOR NI L R gave this :file in conseciuence of the Treaty which had been_ceeeluded between the . Ot toman Porte and England ; but in the article now referred to, it is said' that the Austrian Minister gave this entertainment. on occasion of the marriage of ' his kinsman. He had; however, given offence to the I FrenChCijarga".-Iflitire.i by inviting the English Lega tion. , Pie Frencb iSilitnter, - therefore, rejeeled the • invitation `to himself, and induced the Other foreign , Ministers at ConstantidoPle'to do the same. This letter, however, though so contradictory to the for mer account of the fRe in question, is not inserted without a secret meaning, which, though slightly .i mentioned at the close of the article that introduces 1 the Vienna letter, is probably the chief reason for inserting it, for it 'is added that a number of Rus sian troops , have Assembled near the frOntiers of . 1 Austria, more especially since M. VON ST ORMER so openly‘threw• oflr the mask at Constantinople. Thus the French Journal, after having stated that what it had previously said arose from the conclu sion of peace between 'Pulley and England,: really only related to a marriage, recurs - to its misrepresen-f . teflon, for the purpose of inducing the world to be lieve,that Russia is disposed to ,join with France in the War against Austria. But if Russian troops have assembled towards the Frontiers of Austria, may we not indulge the, Lope that the Emperor ALEXANDER begins to be alive to his danger, and is unwilling to wait till France, having subdued every other'State, may find Russia an easier prey. "The French Papers also contain an official report of the late Movements of the. Brest Fleet, chara&erized by . the usual falsehoods of French accounts.' The main point of this Official'Repprt is, that Capt. TRONDE has been able to escape with his Division, in.order to aeomplish :the mission entrusted to him, and this is the Division seen by the, Surveil/ante, which, is hup poiied. to be destined to South America, in 'or-. der to efl'ed a counter-revolution in that quarter. The ogicial piper of Opposition,. which has often thought proper to distinguish THE SUN as the du ctal paper of Government, accused us .yesterday of having; with 4 the most'unwise and impolitic con fidence exulted in the acquittal" of the Duke of Youx.- We never asserted that an acquittal had taken- place,' and though we often expressed our re gret that such a disgusting subjedt was brought for ward,- we cautiobsly forbore to imitate the example of most of our competitors, in prejuding the spb j,qa, and presuming to find the Duke guilty upon the evidence Of thos , .l,who had notoriously come fot6 ward against his Royal Highness, from motives of disappointMent, .malevolence, and revenge, whose charaaers were.of the most infamous description, 'and :whose evidence was marked by the grossest prevarications,. inconsistency, and falsehood.
